The 2009 Award for the Most Incoherent Fourth of July Speech goes to U.S. Representative Gregg Harper, who advised people gathered yesterday at the Kemper County courthouse down in Mississippi to “go back and celebrate Independence Day and carry forward and let us know to never forget the responsibility we have to others that have gone before us.”
If he goes on giving speeches like this, I think Congressman Harper may be qualified to run for Vice President on the Republican ticket in 2012. Harper might want to think about beefing up his resume a bit, though. It’s been six months that the 111th Congress has been in session, and he has yet to write or even to cosponsor a single piece of legislation.
Did he make any mention of the 57 states?
If we don’t salute the flag, we could lose the Revolutionary War!
